Saturn in Sagittarius:

Scaling your Personal Everest

When Saturn entered Sagittarius on December 23, 2014, many breathed a sigh of relief. After two years of Saturn in Scorpio's financial, physical, and emotional challenges, almost anything looked good in comparison, especially anything in Sagittarius, which is, after all, a veritable Disneyland of a sign,... right?

Not so fast. We're talking about Saturn. And remember what Pluto in Sagittarius was like?

Regardless of its sign, transiting Saturn always has the potential to bring frustrations, restrictions, and disappointments. But it also brings structure, maturity, and success to the areas of life ruled by its current sign. Sagittarius is the sign of the adventurer, and like so many intrepid Edmund Hillarys and Tenzing Norgays, we are ready to scale our personal Mount Everest over the next two years. Sagittarius thinks big, and Saturn in this sign won't prevent you back from embarking on a big adventure, -- but you need to be prepared for the journey. Otherwise, you might be halfway up the mountain before you realize that you've bitten off more than you can chew!

In this workshop we'll explore:

How Saturn's last transit of Sagittarius in the 1980's can help us understand what the next two years have in store for us -- culturally and individually.

What to expect from transiting Saturn in Sagittarius' aspects to Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, and this summer's retrograde into Scorpio.

How your natal Saturn placement, your current phase in Saturn's 29-year-cycle, and the houses of your chart impacted by Saturn in Sagittarius will color your experience of this important transit -- professionally and personally.

See you there!
